Tulsa Half n Half Road/Trail Marathon

Tired of choosing between pounding pavement and conquering singletrack? The Tulsa Half n Half flips the script by making you run both—delivering a rare hybrid marathon experience that proves road and trail running belong together in the same race. Whether you're chasing a half marathon on dirt, a half marathon on asphalt, or the full monty across both landscapes, this innovative event format lets you test your skills on every surface that matters.

MudGear is not just about muddy trails. With the Boston Marathon coming up on Monday, we’ll gladly pay respect to the world's oldest annual marathon. Then, there's the lesser known, but super cool Tulsa Half n Half - as in half road / half trail marathon. It's the best of both worlds, and more cities should replicate this format.

There are actually a few options at the Tulsa Half n Half Marathon. Participants can run a half marathon on the Turkey Mountain dirt trails or a half marathon on the Riverside paved pedestrian trails. Full-marathoners can run the first half on trails and second half on paved trails or the entire distance on the paved trails.
The dirt trail terrain isn't too technical, but sensitive strikers might want to change shoes or wear a hybrid sneaker to adjust from one surface to the other.
